Activate iPhone out of the blue?

Well I don't know what happened but I got the activate iPhone promt on my iPhone 5 out of the blue. I didn't do anything and have had it all year.

Now my phone is locked out until I activate on iTunes. I try to sign in with my Apple ID and it doesn't work. I'm using iOS7 beta 4.

Saying the activation server is unavailable?

I just got home to plug into iTunes. It says the iOS expired or something. I haven't updated in a few weeks as I'm still on the beta 4. Maybe that version expired?

Boy this is going to be a bugger. Can't restore since I have "Find my iPhone" activated. Can't access my phone since it needs to activate.

Way to go Apple.

I was using my developers account and it's linked to my phone.

Anyways, I was able to download the beta 6 from Apple and option click to get the update to install. Itunes failed to verify with the phone. I just unplugged and plugged it back in, then had to reactivate the phone. Guess it's working now.

We had find my phone activated, ended up having to go into dfu drop down to 6.1.4 then install ios 7. The kid didn't make any backups so he lost it all.

Sorry Carson . I fortunately didn't loose anything this time. I believe when I went from 3 > 4, I lost about 2 days worth since my phone never synced with iTunes prior to update which failed miserably so I had to restore back to 6, update back to beta 7, update to beta 4 and then restore my most recent backup. Main reason why I haven't updated and most likely guess beta 4 expired.
